Hi,
in practice, is the difference between xTaskNotify() and xTaskNotifyGive() only that with xTaskNotify() you can pass a message/notification?

Thank you

Yes, that’s right. You can pass additional information with xTaskNotify() / xTaskNotifyWait(). One other difference, xTaskNotifyGive() / xTaskNotifyTake() can act as a basic counting semaphore.
